The article presents the activities of the Polish Association for Research on Children, special emphasis being given to the nature of performed investigations as well as to the publications issued. The Association established in 1905 by A. Szycowna, in spite of enormous obstacles en- countered during the times of partitions managed to carry out extensive socially useful activities grouping prominent social workers, physicians, psychologists and teachers. The objectives of the Association were the following: 1) organization of research on child's psychology, 2) pro- motion of educational writings and psychological and edu- cational knowledge among parents and teachers. In order to achieve the above objectives several commissions were established within the Association, i.e. the Commission for the Child's Art, the Commission for Language Acqui- sition and Development, the Commission for Research on Mathematical Concepts in Children, the Commission for Research on Mentally Deficient Children and the Com- mission for Research on Personality. In the year 1921 the Association ceased to exist and its functions were taken over by the Polish Educational Institute. 2. JANIGA, MARIAN. Profesor Stefan Szuman (1889-1972).

Cren.a polskiego szkolnictwa pedago- gicznego w zaborze austriackiin. (The Origin of the Educational Traininginthe Region Occupied by Austria During the Times of Partitions). Ruch Pedagogiczny 1972, No. 6, pp. 751- 762. The article was written on the occasion of the 100th anni- versary of the establishment of teacher training colleges in Galicia. The author stresses the significance of these educational institutions for the reconstruction of the na- tional education. Teacher training colleges of those times. w ere state schools conducting four-year courses and avail- able for candidates of all nationalities and beliefs. On the basis of the School Act issued May 14, 1869 the author presents the overall educational situation in the regions occupied by Austria during the times of partitions. Against this background he discusses curricula and teaching plans of teacher training colleges as well as legal acts pertaining to their establishment and functioning. Attention is also given to the establishment of four colleges for men and three colleges for women which came to existence in the year 1870 and where instruction lasted three years. In- struction in these colleges was free and graduates were expected to undertake teaching activities in the what are called peoples' schools. In the final part of the article the author discusses structural changes in the Galician teach- ers colleges, i.e. introduction of the fourth year of instruc- tion and of a preliminary year before the beginning of the training proper.

Przeglqd Historyczno-Otviatowy 1973, No. 1, pp. 61-75. The Veterinary Institute was established in Marymont in the year 1820 on the force of the ordinance issued by the Commission for National Education. Its main task was to train qualified veterinary surgeons as the demand for spe- cialists in this field was rapidly increasing. The concept of the structure of the Institute was worked out by Adam Rudnicki, professor at the Jagiellonian University in Crac- ow. The curriculum of the Institute covered botany, phys- ics, chemistry, technology, zoology and cattle raising. The studies lasted three years and included a period of practice. The Institute also conducted research work. In the years 1826/27 the Institute became a school training assistant surgeons, as its small budget could not afford training civil students. 6.PILICHOWSKI, CZESLAW.
